Default Went off the track at Willow!

A few weeks back, I spent my first day at the track and learned about snap oversteer the hard way - backwards on turn 3. Anyway, the driver's side rear wheel (and left front wheel to a smaller degree) took a bit of a beating from the left side. I also had some damage to my rocker panel, which did not involve the frame from what I was told. They fixed the body and replaced the left rear tie rod, but said the control arm was ok. Wheels, tire, and suspension were all stock and still are.

Question: I'm noticing some funk in my suspension. When I go over a bump the back end wobbles left to right a bit. The ride also feels a bit harsher. Any thoughts on what I might have going on? I'm planning to take it to a guy who came pretty highly recommended for suspension and frame work. Still, I thought it might be helpful to know what the stock setup is so I can let him know. (camber, etc.) I'm pretty new at all this stuff. Specifics would be helful.

Alignment is the first thing to look at, as you know. I would also wonder if your LR shock has an issue. it could be blown out; no pressure in one shock would give your car the wobble over bumps you're describing.

Good luck with it!
